Lots of intelligent people stammer, lose their train of thought, or get facts mixed up when speaking extemporaneously. George W. Bush is another good example of this.

He's far from the first person to make their lives on being wily and cunning while not being all that smart: Al Capone was dumb as a bag of dryer lint, but he was wily and cunning and was a tremendous success in his field. Same goes for Donald Trump: wily, cunning, but not joining Mensa any time soon.

So, it's true to say that 100% of the candidates your side chose got trounced by a man who "isn't very bright." What does this say about your side?

We misunderestimated.

By the way, did you read that Obama was a moderate Republican? Was in the Slate.

You people are such children. How many times are you people going to use the "well your guy did this" meme?

As long as they think they can get away with their childish behavior. That's why we should smack the Shit Bird upside the head with the Banhammer.

We underestimated the stupidity of your side and their willingness to vote in a dullard for President.

We don't need myths when he has so many obvious negative factors hanging over him: A horrible economy, record high unemployment, a major foreign policy gaffe right before the election along with a cover-up, a racial divide that's grown since he took office, fast and furious, Obama care-which polls show a majority against, his decision to help oust Ghaddifi, causing a vaccum that radical islamists are taking advantage of, etc.
So, it's really no surprise republicans thought he was beatable.

I wish Liberals and Conservatives alike could see that there is really only two types of media. You have the MSM and you have Independent sources. One deals mostly in disinformation to the public while the other more often than not deals in trying to investigate and bring to light.

Is their a left wing bias in most of the MSM. Yep, You bet there is.

but it's more in order to attract a particular group of viewers and push progressive "Collectivism". The MSM is selling people a product. It's called entertainment. Sorry folks...Fox news is part of the big joke. When conservatives started getting wise to this and figuring it out, Rupert Murdoch invented Fox news to keep that viewership. Murdoch is a liberal. He has no vested interest in our conservative values and beliefs taking root.

It took me a long time to figure this out, but watching O'Rieley go from a pretty good journalist 20 years ago to a loudmouth was a tip off.
